Imagine, design, create, and make just about anything you can dream up with help from your Makerspace Specialists!
Located inside the Xenia Community Library, Spark Place has all sorts of machines, tools, and resources – but we’re more than just the stuff we have! Our staff are makers themselves and we enjoy learning about what you want to do and helping you along the way.
Unsure where to start? Explore project ideas, take a virtual tour, or see our full list of equipment and when you’re ready to get started, call us to make an appointment!
